Using Goodsky taping and painting was the worst business decision I have made. 7,500.00 down payment, 7,500.00 the day they started, and the owner was trying to get a third 7,500.00 payment from me 2 weeks into a 6 week project, before all the tape was on the joints.
After I refused to give out 75% of the contract price 2 weeks into a 6 week job, the owner was rarely on site and instead dropping of some workers.
The end result was the worst taping and painting I have ever seen.
They also asked to borrow my mud pump, which vanished from the site. When i asked about it, the owner said "you said you didnt want it". I own flat boxes, why wouldnt i want my mud pump returned to me?
In the end, it took my 3 man crew 6 days to scrape, sand, mud hundreds of paint runs, cracks, gouges, heavy brush marks, areas where tape was falling off, areas where paint was falling off the ceilings. Entire house had to be re painted top to bottom. The walls were very blotchy even though they claimed to have put on 2 coats of paint. I took a 12,000.00 loss, and blew my schedule out of the water, really upset my customers and damaged my reputation. Very embarassing.
The owner blamed those they employ up and down, and blamed it on me, the customer as well, but never took full accountability for their product.
This is a new, $800,000.00 home.
It caused me incredible stress, and is a negative experience I will carry with me for a long time. read more
